Photo Flash: Take a Look at Firehouse Theatre's Production of ANN

Firehouse Theatre's ANN features Jacqueline Jones in the title role of Ann Richards. The production runs from Wednesday, September 16 through Sunday, October 25, 2020.

Holland Taylor's script is an in-depth, humorous, topical, and affectionate portrait of Ann Richards. The play illustrates why Richards was a dynamic and revolutionary force in American politics. She was the first female Democratic governor of Texas and was a powerful voice in the pro-choice and women's rights movements. She came to national attention when she gave the keynote address at the 1988 Democratic Convention. Richards passed away in 2006 and is remembered for her sharp wit and her advocacy for the inclusion of underrepresented populations in government. One of Richards' most passionate beliefs was that democracy depended on everyone voting and actively participating in manifesting the ideals of equality and justice for all.

Firehouse will continue its practice of contactless theatre for the run of ANN that it established during its production of THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY that opened the theatre's SEASON OF DISCOVERY. Performances will be limited to 2, 4, 6, or 8 audience members at each show, and select performances will be live-streamed.
